(CNN)—Mike Huckabee is thinking about running for the presidency a second time. He's super serious about it. You can tell because not only has he quit his TV show to spend time thinking about it, and written a book ("God, Guns, Grits and Gravy," due out on January 20), but he's also booked a tour of Israel. Next to New Hampshire, Jerusalem might be the best place to run a hotel at election time.
We should be serious about Huckabee too. As Aaron Blake points out in The Washington Post, when he ran in the 2008 Republican primaries, he not only took Iowa but swept much of the South as well -- scooping more than 20% of all the votes cast nationwide. Blake attributes this to Huckabee's unusual appeal within the evangelical community, which is linked to Huckabee's previous role as a preacher.

Uh, no.
No. No he is not.
ROFL!
wow.... just wow...
If there a greater embodiment of a stupid hick in politics than Huck then I don’t know who it is.
The RINOs are sure pushing this stalking horse, aren’t they?
I wonder how they coordinate this kind of thing.
Just a hunch, but it rhymes with NY Slimes.
A more appropriate question:
Is Mike Huckabee the next Harold Stassen?
I don’t even consider that freak a Republican!!
Huck has the strength of personality of a coward that won’t even say if he likes pizza much less answer a political question.
If anyone asks why I absolutely cannot support Huck as a Presidential candidate, I only have to say two words:
“Maurice Clemmons”.
God bless the families of the Lakewood Four.
He’s being pushed by the RINOs so as to make the current Booosh contender more palatable.
No, Reagan was a Godly man. Hucakbee is a cross between a Used car salesman and a Game show host
Huckabee looks like he would be right at home in an episode of “Andy of Mayberry”
I forgot about that thanks went and read the story
Reagan sought the office to glorify Freedom and the ideals of limited government.
LOLOLOL! Well it is cnn so what do you expect? Maybe he’s the next Barry Goldwater.
Since I was a wee child, I’ve witnessed:
2 Presbyterians
1 Catholic
1 Quaker
2 Episcopalians
2 Baptists
1 Muslim and whatever the heck LBJ was, I don’t want any of what the Hucksters sellin’, just sayin.
“Is Huckabee the next Reagan?”
I literally Laughed Out Loud in my office.
Hell no. But at least his stupid TV show is off.
